Moderator Posts: 7000 Re:Front oil drain bolt won't budge.....ARRGG!!!!! 5 Years ago   Think I'd stick to the one that was designed as a drain plug.....and pick up a new one from the auto parts store before hand to replace it with. A good smack will get it loose , trust me.....

Put the wrench on the plug and cut a piece of wood to jam between the frame and the drain. Then smack the wrench with a dead blow hammer!

Clifford Excuse my ignorance, but what are you referring to when you say a "dead blow hammer?" Is that a rubber mallet?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #83692 fastjohnny (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1325 Re:Front oil drain bolt won't budge.....ARRGG!!!!! 5 Years ago   A dead blow is either rubber or plastic. It's filled with shot or bb's in the head. When you strike something with it it's like throwing all the weight of the stuff in the head at whatever you're hitting, plus the force "stays where you put it" instead of bouncing off like a regular steel hammer.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/08 20:57 By fastjohnny.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #83694 silver_fox (User) I wanna ride!

I was wondering what it was too.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #83695 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Front oil drain bolt won't budge.....ARRGG!!!!! 5 Years ago   Dead Blow hammers   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #83699 Lakecharles (User) Jeremiah 29:11 and Semper Fi! Gold Boarder Posts: 751 Re:Front oil drain bolt won't budge.....ARRGG!!!!! 5 Years ago   Thanks, Interestingly enough, I was in a tool outlet yesterday and looking at an orange mallet such as the one you referred me to Musky, and I remember thinking to myself that it seemed to be filled with something... the shot I now know. I think I will return and get one. I have had the unpleasant experience of bouncing a regular hammer off of something although, it only took once.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #83700 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Front oil drain bolt won't budge.....ARRGG!!!!! 5 Years ago   Once you get one you'll find yourself using it all the time.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #83701 PapaTom (User) I said 4 quarts.
